    Jones would land first with big left hooks and big straight rights but Frazier keeps coming. Can Jones hurt and/or knock Frazier out? If not he probably can't keep Frazier off him. Does Jones hit harder than Ali? I think it's possible, given Ali was an arm puncher.

    Roy Jones is an All Time Great fighter. That being said, Frazier blasts him out in 5 or less.

    This. Jones truly was pound for pound an incredible fighter, though. Frazier would be all over him.

    Unlike Ruiz who basically allowed Jones room to run his offense by not taking
    advantage of a significant height and weight advantage. Frazier wouldn't give
    Jones the room to get on track. Frazier would come out smoking. He would
    know Jones only real chance of winning is to give him space to work.

    He wouldn't get it. Frazier could be behind on the score cards after
    the 1st 2-3 rds. But Frazier would hit Jone's arms, body,and hips
    until he began to slow. Sooner than later, around the 4th -5th rd
    one of those hooks would land cleanly on Jone's chin......
    Good night Roy Jones Jr. Jones had some devastating looking ko losses
    that were shocking to see at the tail end of his career, by relatively
    Light punchers in comparison to J.Frazier. When Frazier lands
    the shot that stops Jones. It would be far worse than any Ko loss
    he's had. A painfully violent Ko loss.

    Perfect, Flash. Even Ali admitted to having hips near-crippled with pain after fighting Joe.

    True, those would hurt Roy, but Frazier would never be able to land them. Prime Roy was almost untouchable, and Frazier, although not slow, wasn't fast enough either.

    But Frazier has no height advantage, he's roughly the same height as Roy.

    If Frazier lands, he can definitely hurt Roy.
    But I don't really think he can land, Roy's just too fast.

    Negative. Roy was very fleet of foot.

    Very fleet a laying on his back too. Joe was a big truck. 1 rd. 1 punch. Roy won't see it anymore than he saw Tarver.
